FIFTEEN

ALEJANDRA

Gage strips me down to nothing and eases me back into the pillows.

My mind is going a million miles per second.

We should talk about what just happened downstairs, not jumping into bed and go straight to sex.

I don’t think this is how adults work through emotions.

All the thoughts go away when he moves between my legs, looking like a starved man about to get fed.

“You have such a pretty pussy, baby.” Planting soft kisses up my thighs as he inches closer. “You’re so tight that I’m scared I’m gonna hurt you. Can I stretch you with my fingers first?”

He cares about my comfort. Oh, my god. Is he even real?

I nod and Gage brings his middle and ring fingers to his mouth and slowly parts his lips to slip them inside.

I watch him, his head between my thighs, his fingers in his mouth, getting ready to put them inside me.

Preparing me to finally take him. My thighs tremble when he positions himself on his elbows, his free hand pushing the inside of my thigh to spread me wider for him.

“Your legs are shaking, pretty girl. Why?” He asks, taking the fingers from his mouth and positioning them at my entrance.

“Nervous… It’s just that it’s been a while.” My voice trembles, my chest heaving as I watch him, watching his fingers slip inside me.

“You’re my girl. All mine. You don’t need to be nervous, because you’ll set the pace.” His finger moves in and out, lightly stroking my walls. “Let me taste you, Ale.”

“Yes,” my hips buck upward when his finger applies gentle pressure inside me and his warm mouth hovers over my clit.

Before he does anything, he gives my clit a tender kiss and whispers. “I’m gonna make you feel so good, so worn out, but then I’m gonna take care of you afterwards.”

“Oka—” his tongue makes a firm stroke and I swear I see stars. Every single swipe of his tongue in time with the thrust of his fingers has me inching toward release, and I want it so bad. “Gage.” I whisper his name like it’s a secret, only for him to hear.

“That’s it, pretty girl.” His praise just makes me wetter for him, and he groans into my pussy. “So wet. Just for me. Only for me.”

“Only for you,” I whimper as his fingers up the pressure. I let myself enjoy the pleasure he gives, knowing that if this ends up all being a mistake, at least it’s one that felt amazing.

The building feeling inside of me is not something I’ve ever felt. This is going to be the fastest I’ve ever come, that’s for sure. Almost like I need to… oh God. “Gage, stop. I’m gonna… oh, fuck!” I throw my head back into the pillows, my eyes tearing up, and let out a low moan as I come.

Warm fluid, trickling at first but soon splashing as Gage’s hand makes contact with my pussy over and over again. “Oh, fuck yes,” and he sits up, continuing to thrust his fingers inside me. “More. Give me more, baby. I’ve never been with someone who can squirt.”

I tense up and look down at him. “You like this?” Gage withdraws his fingers and stares down at his hand and the bedsheets.

“I fucking love this.” He shoves his finger into his mouth, tasting me, his eyes rolling as he sucks my cum off his fingers. “I’m thinking of a late fall wedding. So it won’t be so hot, thoughts?”

I laugh, bringing my foot up to his chest to push him back. But instead he grabs my ankle and kisses the sole of my foot and all the way up, leaving a trail of kisses. His lips brush over my soft belly and linger for a moment.

“What?” I ask, staring down at him.

“She should have been yours, Ale.” Gage kisses my stomach again, then locks eyes with me. I see the longing and regret in his eyes, though I know he doesn’t regret Zoe. He regrets her mother.

So I say the words that have been brewing in my heart aloud. “She is mine, Gage. I just grew her in here.” I take one of his hands and place it on my heart.

“Can I put my baby inside you?” The question is so quiet that I wonder if he meant for me to hear it. But I know he meant for me to hear it because his open palm spreads low on my stomach.

What the hell do I say to that? Do I be logical and tell him no and put a condom on? Or do I accept what my heart wants and give in? Because I want him. I want Zoe, and I want a baby with him.

We’re insane.

I spread my legs wider for him and, noticing that I do, he crawls up the rest of my body and his face hovers over mine. “Ale?” His hand is now on my waist as he pulls me down; our faces are now level with each other. “I need words, baby.”

“All I’ve ever wanted was my own family.

A husband and children, and I’ve had to push everything aside for the benefit of other people.

I want to be selfish for once. I know you’re an amazing father, Gage, so if it were to happen, I know you’d love them, too.

Regardless of what happens between us.” I reach up and cup his cheek, stroking my thumb over the faint scars near his eyebrow.

“But I also feel you’re who I was supposed to find first. You and Zoe. ”

“I’m gonna be so good to you, baby. To you and our kids.” He leans down and kisses me, a slow, tender kiss. One that calms my nerves and breathes life into whatever we are.

“Gage,” I mumble against his lips.

“Hmm?”

“Make love to me and put your baby inside me.” I can’t believe I just said those words out loud. Gage looks over at the monitor to make sure Zoe’s still asleep and then makes his move, pulling his basketball shorts down along with his boxer briefs.

“ Fuck , I need you so much.” Gage strokes himself a few times, then positions himself at my entrance. “I should have bought lube for this. If it hurts too much, just tell me to stop.”

I know he’s big. Gage has the length but also the girth and I think that’s what will be most uncomfortable.

As if he can sense my worry, he leans forward and spits directly on my pussy.

That should not have been so hot. If it had been any other man, I probably would have smacked them, but because it’s him, I just lie there and watch as he drags the tip of his cock through the saliva.

“Oh my God,” I moan as I feel the slight pressure of it notching at my entrance.

“Breathe,” and he pushes forward. Immediately, I tense around the tip of him.

“I need you to relax, Ale. I’m not even halfway inside you yet.” Gage grips my thighs, spreading me open for him, then leans down. “Kiss me, baby; kiss me and open up for me.”

Wrapping my arms around his neck, I kiss him, letting him push in a little more, hearing him moan as he pulls back. “So tight, I’m going to come so fast, Hermosa. This perfect pussy is going to get filled over and over again.” I squeeze my eyes shut and breathe, feeling him slowly fill me.

“Ale,” he says, stroking my cheek. “Eyes on me.”

I open my eyes and watch him adjust so he’s on his knees, thrusting slowly, watching as he enters me and pulls out. “Fuck, look how well you take me, pretty girl.” He gasps as I raise my hips and look down to see where we’re joined.

“Fuck, you’re so big.” I moan as he fills me to the hilt, panting as he searches my face for discomfort.

“But you're taking me so fucking well, Ale. This pussy was made to take me. Just like your body was made to carry and birth my babies.”

I knew I wanted babies before, but hearing him talk about me like this, it’s like something clicked in my head, my heart, and my pussy. Now it’s all I want. Zoe’s going to have a sibling before she’s even out of diapers. I just know it.

My body relaxes, my hips lifting to meet his thrusts. “You feel so good inside me.” I pull him to my mouth and kiss him and while he continues to thrust, our moans and skin coming together, I press my lips to his ear. “Please come inside me, amor . I need to feel you inside me.”

“ Fuck ,” he whimpers. “Beg me to come inside you, Ale. Beg me to fill this cunt with my cum,” and he thrusts hard, jutting my head toward the headboard.

“Give it to me, Gage. Use me to make yourself come and fill me up.” I whimper and he captures my lips with his, devouring me. “Please… please ,” I moan into his mouth.

“I’m not gonna last much longer.” He groans as he adjusts, pulling my leg over his shoulder, driving into me deeper.

“Just one more, baby; give me just one more. You can do it, just breathe for me.” I gasp as he brings his thumb to my clit, circling with the pace of his thrusts.

“Yeah, that’s my good girl. You feel so good wrapped around my cock. ”

My head spins and my orgasm builds with every strum of his finger, his thrusts becoming more determined, his breaths come out in sharp pants and to help him get there, I tilt my hips and let out a few whimpers as the head of his cock hits my cervix.

“Right there, oh fuck right there.” My nails drag down his back as I pull him closer, deeper inside me.

“Do it again.” He groans and I drag my nails down his back again, stopping right above his ass.

Gripping him, I pull him toward me. “That’s it, baby.

Show me how much you want me. Mark me up, because I know I want to see you covered in bruises and bite marks and all the other tokens of my love and affection. ”

Love and affection. Two words from a man I’ve never heard used in the same sentence and never in the context he means them in.

I can feel the tears creeping before they fall and I know my eyes are going to start watering.

I hold him to my chest, Gage’s warm breath in my ear as I come, and because he can’t see my face, I let the tears fall as I ride my orgasm out with him chasing his.

I want his bruises and bite marks, I want to feel him when he isn’t with me.

But I know the biggest token of his love that he could give me is his baby.

“I’m gonna come, Ale. Can I come inside you, baby? Can I fill your perfect body with our baby?” His breath stutters as he holds himself back, waiting for me to say yes.

“Come inside me, make me yours, Gage.” He thrusts deep and lets out a string of curses as he empties himself inside me, his warmth spreading through me. His lips ghost over mine and press down lightly.

“You were mine before I came inside you, Hermosa . You’re mine. My woman, soon you’ll be my wife. Mother to my daughter and future children.” Gage doesn’t pull out, he props himself up on his elbow, pushing my hair out of my face. “This is crazy.” He laughs softly.

“You’re telling me. I was just supposed to be your nanny.” I kiss the tip of his nose.

“I knew the moment you looked at Zoe that this wasn’t going to be a job for you.

Or for me. The way you looked at her, like she was everything you ever wanted.

I had this feeling that there was going to be more.

I tried so hard to fight it, to tell myself it was stupid.

Why would a beautiful woman like you, who could have anyone, want to be with a guy who had a newborn?

” Gage pulls my thigh over his as he shifts us on our side, still not pulling out.

“Because you’re you, Gage. I see you for who you really are.

A good man and a good father. Women search forever for a man like you.

And I adore Zoe, and I was serious. I may not share her DNA or blood.

But she’s mine if you allow her to be mine.

” I feel him softening inside of me. “You can probably pull out now,” caressing his face, taking in how beautiful his green eyes are, the faded pink scars above his eyebrow and memorizing every inch of his face.

I know that soon he’ll be gone on another deployment and I won’t have his face this close to me for who knows how long.

“I don’t want this to end.” He holds me tight to him.

“It doesn’t have to end. But if I know your daughter, she is going to wake up any second now, hungry as hell and in need of a diaper change.” I give his ass a playful swat. “Let me up so I can get cleaned up and I’ll check on her.”

“First thing, she’s our daughter.” He pulls out and tilts my hips up, reaching for two of his pillows and shoving them underneath my raised hips.

“And second, you are going to stay right here while I take care of your pussy after what I just put her through. I told her, I’m going to take care of her.

” He gets off the bed and kisses my lips and then kisses my clit.

“I thought you were telling me that you were going to take care of me afterwards.” He chuckles as he comes up from between my legs, his lips glistening with what I can only assume is a mixture of us.

"Well, I couldn’t be rude, baby. I knew that she was going to be tired after taking me. It’s only gentlemanly to make sure she’s well cared for afterward. But yes, amor . I’m going to take care of you, too.”

I stare at him, lost in a haze of all these feelings, as he licks his lips, tasting both of us together and then smiles before turning and heading to the bathroom.

I hear the sink kick on and after a few moments it turns off.

He strides back in with a washcloth and presses it gently between my legs, cleaning me up.

The slight sting from the warm water makes me wonder how bad it is down there. I lean forward, trying to look.

“It’s swollen and a little red. I’m gonna have to prep you better next time. I’m sorry, baby.” Gage has a genuine look of remorse on his face as he cleans me.

“I’m not.” Placing my hand over his. “I know what you feel like inside me now. Don’t be sorry.”

“Next time, we’ll be better prepared.” He tosses the towel towards his hamper, completely missing.

“So tonight then. If Zoe sleeps.”

“If our daughter sleeps. I can run to go grab some things that will help. Here,” He reaches for my underwear, tossing them to me and then walks to his dresser, pulling out a shirt.

Walking back over, he tugs his shirt over my head, then kisses me.

“New rule of the house. In bed, you only wear my shirts or nothing at all.”

“Seems kind of possessive,” I raise my brow at him.

“It’s purely to appease my caveman-like tendencies to see you in my clothes, smelling like you’re mine, that’s all.” He smiles as he kisses me. “Okay, I’ll get baby girl a bottle and bring her to you. Then I’ll head out.”

Gage pulls on some underwear, clean basketball shorts, and a shirt, then leaves the room. I can hear him on the baby monitor as he enters Zoe’s nursery and what I hear makes my heart burst.

“Zoe Jane, you’ve got the best mama in the entire world, do you know that? Daddy’s gonna make sure he does everything in his power to make sure he doesn’t fuck this up.”
